You don't know them, you might not...No, no, no. You don't know them, you might not know which church it is and what it preaches. You don't know what they'll say to your kids. Get to know them first and make sure your kids aren't going to come home crying about how you and your wife are going to go to hell for not going to church. In my opinion, it's an odd request. A picnic, maybe. But a religious service, no.kathcomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09844314553157905167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649873865364135464.post-19931037901198087812010-03-23T01:07:43.852-07:002010-03-23T01:07:43.852-07:00No, there is really nothing weird about your new n...No, there is really nothing weird about your new neighbors asking if your kids could attend church services with them.

The neighbors are still considered as strangers until you've known them for quite some time.<br /><br />Yesi, <br /><br />I'm still tripping on the fact that they asked our kids if they'd like to come along.
